Perspective view of topography developed in a physical model of a salt-bearing basin. Salt dia-
pirs form highs within the basin (black, green and red colors) and are surrounded by withdrawal basins
(minibasins; dark blue to purple). Some of the rising diapirs form interconnected networks of salt-cored
highs. Image by Tim Dooley, Applied Geodynamics Laboratory.
